Chapter 2000 - 1580: Her Identity? Unable to Gain a Foothold?

The common folk’s reverence for experts—no one understands it better than Jin Luoyi. He just wants to watch this plain-looking, dark-skinned woman in front of him fall from the high pedestal straight into the dust!

When Gu Changsheng heard Jin Luoyi’s words, her brows furrowed even deeper. That feeling of being watched just now had been so real it was impossible to ignore. Moreover, within that watching, she could sense a hint of probing intent, as if trying to see right through her entire being. Gu Changsheng really hated that feeling!

And now Jin Luoyi chose this exact moment to throw out such provoking lines—no denying it, Jin Luoyi was tugging hard on Gu Changsheng’s last taut nerve!

From last night until now, Gu Changsheng didn’t show it on her face, but deep down she was definitely taking her Divine Soul Injury to heart a bit.

How could she not?

As a Doctor, Gu Changsheng understood better than anyone the truth of "anything is fine as long as you’re not sick"—how absolutely solid that rule is. Yet right now, just her luck, she herself is a sick person. Not only is she sick, but as of this moment, there’s no medicine for this illness, no method to cure it!

That left Gu Changsheng feeling a bit at a loss. Add to that Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue hiding things from her—although Gu Changsheng didn’t know what exactly they were concealing, although she trusted and respected them and chose not to press further—still, this feeling of being kept in the dark made her mood somewhat low and her temper a bit touchy!

Jin Luoyi has no sense of tact. To be more precise, Jin Luoyi and Elder Jin’s whole group are all entirely lacking in tact. They don’t understand Gu Changsheng’s temperament, so they show up to pinch her brows right when her mood is this rotten!

On a normal day, Gu Changsheng is already like a firecracker—basically the kind that lights itself without anyone setting a match to it, let alone at a time like this?

If only you could see Yuan Bao, Black Man Duo Shu, and Baby Jin Bao—the way each of them keeps as much distance from Gu Changsheng as they can, it’s as far as they can get, they get. Everyone is terrified that one careless move will make Gu Changsheng unhappy, you know?

Holding Baby Jin Bao, Yuan Bao tilted his head sympathetically at Black Man Duo Shu and said, "Look at this Er Que, going out of his way to court death again!"

Useless fools, the lot of them!

At a time like this, being near his own wife is like standing in a minefield—don’t touch it and it still might blow on its own, let alone stomping right on it!

May God bless him so his life isn’t quite so miserable!

When Black Man Duo Shu heard Yuan Bao’s comment, he immediately turned to look at him. Honestly, hearing someone who’s usually called "Er Que" use "Er Que" to call someone else—Duo Shu couldn’t help feeling a bit awkward!

However, at this very moment, Black Man Duo Shu felt Yuan Bao actually had a point, because Jin Luoyi really was courting death. And Black Man Duo Shu was sure that whatever came out of Jin Luoyi’s dog mouth next, it definitely wouldn’t be anything like ivory!

Sure enough, just as Black Man Duo Shu expected, the moment Jin Luoyi finished speaking, the atmosphere inside the Mercenary Alliance Main Tower was instantly stirred up!

Yesterday, when Gu Changsheng’s group entered the Mercenary Alliance and defeated Wang Quan’s six-man team in one go, then flipped Elder Jin with a single move, the news had already spread like wildfire throughout the Mercenary Alliance and even the entire Smelting City. With the eyewitnesses adding fuel to the story, Gu Changsheng’s group had practically become peerless experts, supreme existences!

Last night, lots of people crowded outside the small courtyard where Gu Changsheng and the others were staying, just hoping to get close to the experts they idolized. But in the end, nothing came of it. Today they finally saw the experts, only to find the experts looking all "strangers keep out," so under everyone’s watchful gaze, they didn’t dare make a move!

But now it’s different—someone actually took the initiative to talk to the experts, and on top of that, it sounded like picking a fight. That immediately got everyone’s thoughts stirring, you know?

At a time like this, if someone is picking a fight with the experts, then if they step in and say a few nice words, wouldn’t that earn them some points in front of the experts?

With that in mind, someone promptly picked up Jin Luoyi’s lead!

"Young Master Jin, if you’ve got something to say, just say it straight. Experts are experts—we really worship those few experts a lot. If you know any inside info, why not tell us? That way we’ll know how to get along with the experts in the future, right?"

Naturally, no one was going to do something like slander Gu Changsheng!
